With the help of a very nice contractor, we have control of this page again, plus its on an updated
server that should be less prone to hacking.
If you're new to this page, welcome. Our goal is to keep alive the tradition of putz house
collection, documentation, restoration, and construction. Our members include several of the most
prestigious collectors, restorers, and builders I've ever come across.

This forum is a place for our readers to pass on things they've figured out that will help other readers. Several folks who are experienced in building, collecting, and displaying putz houses stop by frequently, so check back for new ideas, and add some yourself. Any suggestions you have, things you've learned that you'd like to pass on, weird problems you need help with, all are welcome here. - Paul
My low-tech “drying rack”…it’s a square piece of 1/4” hardware cloth that sits on top of my desk lamp…the gentle heat from the fluorescent bulb really speeds up the setting of glue and drying of paint…so very simple…but it works…unless I have to break out the hairdryer…which I have been know to do…
Howard…
usually patient…except when waiting for paint and glue to dry…

I saw the first picture and it took me a minute to see the second one. What a great idea. The only thing is - where are the paint spatters? The lamp is not covered with paint? Probably because you paint so carefully stuff doesn't drip. Thank you for sharing your low tech drying rack.
